Came here at 9pm for a late dinner. Wasn't busy so had really fast service. Tried their beef and beef ball pho, which was yummy. Also ordered a serve of bun satay, which is vermicelli noodles with satay chicken. The serve was big and you got the satay sauce and peanuts on the side. It was a little bit dry with only the satay sauce so I asked for more fish sauce to add in. Delicious! Would come back (:
What a great name for a pho joint! We visited mid week at lunchtime and the place was relatively quiet.
We ordered a bun bo hue and a beef & chicken combination with spicy soup. Both were decent sized and tasted nice. There was a generous amount of meat and vegetables. The spicy broth was full of umami goodness. There were the prerequisite sauces on the table but the satay sauce was disappointing. It was bland and added little to the overall experience. Service was efficient.
So while we were not bowled over by Super Bowl, it was still a good enough place for a pho fix.
Amazing pho and rice dishes.
A great place for a quick eat. I’ve only ever eaten here for lunch when I’ve had a limited amount of time and this has been enough time to order, eat and relax before getting back to work.
The food is all full of flavour. I would return to this restaurant.
Our go to for bun bho hue. Also has good spring rolls that are always fresh. One of the few Vietnamese place we go to that doesn’t make us extremely thirsty afterwards from the msg.

The best bbh in Richmond! Super tasty broth and super filling. I always walk out without having my mouth super dry like at other Vietnamese places! Great food! Love it
One of my favourite places to go for bun bo hue. The broth is always on point, workers are always alert so very easy to get their attention if ever needed. Comfortable seats and if anyone’s up for a challenge, feel free to get the SUPERBOWL. Love the ice cream desserts! My favourite flavours are red bean and durian. The ice cream is served with crumbled biscuits which compliment each other.
Favourite place for pho on Victoria Street, which has waaaaaay too many places to choose from! We've been going to Super Bowl for a few years now and the quality and flavour of the pho is always consistent. Hard to go wrong for $11 for a medium bowl! We've never ventured into the 'super bowl' territory but we saw a couple who did the other night. You can pretty much swim in it! (but don't. It's hot.)
Tried the vermicelli with chargrilled chicken. Flavoursome and decent sized meal with a good portion of meat. Fast service during lunch hour. Bang for your buck!
Great place, quick service. Personally we haven't tried the super size yet. It'll be like trying to defeat the final boss in Zelda without any clothes and just a wooden stick. Doable, but I don't think I'm a trooper like that.
We got the BBH and the Combination Broken Rice. Bun Bo Hue (BBH) is pretty good here, you got to really salad it us before you eat though, it makes it that much better.
The Broken Rice is pretty average, a good alternative to the soups though.
All in all, this place is recommended, especially for that post Friday night hang over.
I've come here once (when I was having serious pho cravings) and thoroughly enjoyed it. My partner and I shared a Beef Super Bowl which was monstrous (but great value). There was ample meat/bean sprouts and at least 3-4 portions of noodle drenched in delicious and flavoursome broth which had clearly been boiling away for hours as it had good depth to it's taste.
I'd definitely come back if I was in the area as I found the pho to be faultless (but I might get a smaller serve next time)!
My favourite pho restaurant on Victoria St. They have a more limited menu than many of the other places, so they do what they do best! I have had everything on the menu and the trouble is working out which one I like to have today! A bowl of pho you can stick your head into? Yes please (well, not for me, I have a medium. My friends though...). The BBH is excellent... it's almost too spicy for me sometimes (and I didn't think I was a wuss).
The service is always great, they bring an iPad along so they don't get their orders wrong. BYO wine and beer, no corkage.
I've been here a couple of times because you get a good feed out of it. The portion sizes are massive, even for a medium bowl. However, the pho is lacking flavour. It tastes very bland. The bun bo hue is actually pretty nice and has a real kick to it, compared to other places where its been diluted down a bit. Staff are super friendly and food comes out quite promptly
I always love to order "Bun Bo Hue" medium size in this Vietnamese shop in North Richmond though it takes me long time walking from the train station. It could be the best beef noodle with spicy soup that I have ever eaten in Melbourne since I came here for studying abroad.
Eating here remind me missing my country a lot.
Very satisfied with the portion because I could eat a lot and get hungry soon. 😂
The "Pho" here is also worth to try.
Like a typical Vietnamese shop in Melbourne, food was served fast and piping hot. My boyfriend ordered the super bowl and it was MASSIVE - they were very generous with the beef & it was amusing to see him struggle to finish it. The soup was good & portions were huge; even the small was a little too much for me
Food 2: delicious massive pho! The satay chickens are my favourite! Other Vietnamese places can't compare! So, every time I crave Vietnamese satay chickens, I always come here.
Service & decor 2: average
Their pho was okay, i am never a big fan of pho anyway, always a bit of bland for me. I tried their marinaded pork vermicelli which was really nice and they were very generous with the meat. Tried spring rolls for entree but it was very messy to eat lettuce + spring rolls and fish sauce, or maybe I don't know how to do it properly.
Big servings with quality food. A bit on the pricey side for viet food but the portion makes up for it. Place is clean and staff is friendly.
If you are after size you will definitely get that at super bowl! I ordered a stewed brisket pho in medium as I was super hungry. Again I was defeated by the portion size and could not finish. Plenty of meat and noodles. It's not the best pho I've had but pretty good!
The best bun bo hue, Vietnamese beef noodle in spicy soup in Melbourne that I've eaten! I always come here to get either Pho (beef noodle soup) and Bun Bo hue. I always get the small, but if you're really hungry and up for a challenge, try the Super Bowl size! I usually pair it with a coconut drink or sweet longan drink.
Not THE best but up there with the best pho on Vic St. Great rice paper rolls, well priced, and footy on the TV!
I'd say this is a great mid-range Vietnamese restaurant on Vic St. There's cheaper, dirtier ones where the produce is not as fresh and there's the up-market ones that in my opinion are overpriced.
Super Bowl is in the middle and the food fantastic. Service is even pretty good.
Pho broth is delicious.
I'll be back.
CONSISTENT flavoured soup, sturdy tables, comfortable seating, air con, good service are a rare combination for Pho/Viet noodle soup houses. Super Bowl ticks all these boxes. Hard to go wrong here. They even have the Viet Coffee on point. You'll dine here in a comfortable environment with consistent food and service.
I prefer their Pho over their Bun Bo Hue.
Hats off to this restaurant, they're not about cramming as many people as they can in a small space.
Victoria St is a fortnightly destination for me since I can never fight off my cravings for cheap authentic vietnamese food. Having tried most of the street, I have to say the pho and bun bo hue at superbowl has got to be among the best. I never remembered it being this good but the past two visits I've had has seriously satisfied my pho craving and hasn't got that strong MSG taste. If you're nearby this is a top pick!
We were served upon seating and the waitress was polite. She took our orders when we were ready and brought us some hot tea.
Our orders came relatively fast and they were accurate too. I had a medium pho with chicken breast & beef strips whereas grace had a small vegetarian pho with vegetable broth. I really liked my pho, the broth was very hearty and they also put quite a lot of chicken breast and beef strips which is a plus! Grace was okay with hers but she would've preferred if they gave more types of vegetables as opposed to just the broccoli.
Good experience, will definitely recommend it!
I remember when pho became a thing....
Looking on enviously at my friends with their yummy warm soups during winter. If you're fructose intolerant you'd have felt it too... that oniony garlicky broth looked and smelt delightful. Well thanks to Super Bowl I can finally have my soup and slurp it too! Their beef and vegetable broth is fructose friendly (order without added onion) and absolutely delicious... super fragrant and full of flavour without being filled with all the thangs that make my tummy sad. At under $15 for a huge bloody bowl of noms it's a steal. Do yourself a favour and get down there for a no frills but satisfyingly healthy and budget friendly lunch!
Only ever came here for the Bun Bo Hue and every time it has been bang on, don't let the somewhat dodgy name put you off if you are a Bun Bo Hue junky like me.
Been here many times over the past few years and it's always good. I find the service and decor excellent, even the bathrooms are spotless.
We usually get the rice paper rolls which a spot on including the sauce. Then followed by a couple of phos that are too large to finish, even the small. Give the Superbowl a shot if your up for unachievable challenge.
Yes, we like the tea.
Being a big fan of the original sliced beef - none of this chicken, brisket or meat ball nonsense - it has to be Super Bowl. Located near the corner of Church/Vic Streets it's got some hefty competition in I Love Pho and Pho Chu, but after plenty of research, it's the winner. It won't quite have you feeling like you're sitting on a HCMC sidewalk at 3am trying to prevent a hangover but it comes pretty damn close. Good noodle:beef:broth ratio and four sizes to choose from. This includes the named-for Super Bowl which I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone order let alone finish. BYO licensed, fast service, really well priced and I've never had to wait for a table - what more do you want in a quick, cheap noodle soup stop? Their prawn and pork spring rolls are a good addition too. They never come out before the soup but sequence isn't to be expected in any authentic Asian restaurant - I wouldn't have it any other way.
Read the full review among others on the blog, link in bio :)
Got here around 7.30pm and was immediately seated. It was busy but not overly loud. Got the special vegetable spring rolls, medium size bowl of pho and 3 colour with peanut and coconut milk. The Spring rolls were very authentic. The 3 colour peanut drink was so sweet but addictive. It was almost like a dessert drink. Only downside was the lettuce and mint leaves were unwashed, it had dirt and gooey things on them
Amazing as always! Pho is always good here and they cater to my fructose and gluten free perfectly. Friendly staff and beautiful rice paper rolls 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜
Excellent pho & very generous with the amount of noodles. Great won ton & spring rolls too.
The staff were very friendly and polite. Favourite pho on vic st so far!
Very fresh herbs and tasty Bun Bo Hue soup. Also like the iced coffee. I cannot even finish a medium one, lots of ingredients. Will come here more offen.
Super Bowl pops up on quite a few "best cheap eats in Melbourne" write ups and is an easy 12 minute tram ride from the city (Line 12 or 109 from Town Hall stop on Collins St, or Line 78 from Chapel St). The vermicelli salad with pork was absolutely delicious, as was the spicy beef soup. Hubby (who usually cleans his plates) couldn't quite finish his large size order. Super generous portions with super flavour. Will definitely be returning to Super Bowl!
EASILY THE BEST PHO RESTAURANT IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!! in my opinion it beats all the other pho restaurants in Melbourne and boy have I been to alot. The customer service is amazing. Everything about it is impeccable 👌☝👌
Indeed, went there with appetite. Finished Super Bowl very easy. Did I mentioned super bowl? Yeh, the largest one on the scale! Wasn't it big as its called? It was huge !! Soups was good. Tea was good. Service was good. But abit too much noodle than meats. Overall, very good experience.
This fried rice is simple & delish. Perfectly cooked rice wok tossed with pork bits. Just very yummy on a winter night! I also tried the chicken curry puff, they were a little oily but very delish.
the only place I go to for BBH, not so much for its standard pho as I think there are other places who do it better.. but their Bun Bo Hue, it's amazing.. spicy, sour, fresh. owner is always polite and efficient too.
I went here today with a mate. We both tried different pho's, he had a chicken pho and mine was beef and chicken. Not surprisingly were very similar lol
My pho was tasty and fresh. The service here was really good, and the pho was served within minutes of us ordering. The staff were friendly and the price was $11 for a medium sized pho which was more than enough.
Worth a try if your passing through Victoria St.
Oooooh man... the Bun Bo Hue (bbh) is awesome, it's consistently amazing, they are always generous with ingredients and the serving size is massive, even the small is more than enough! The cafe sua da is made very well, although sometimes it can be a little too sweet. The restaurant itself is clean and functional, nothing too out there, but it works. The staff are always kind, and the service itself is pretty quick. Price wise, it's great value for money, you are left full and your wallet/purse only takes a little bit of damage :)
So I went to super bowl. It was a nice eatery. The food was good and the service was okay. We order pho. It was nice. I like the soup!Will come back again
Excellent value for money. I ordered the vegetarian pho and it was flavourful and very generous with noodles. The vegetarian spring rolls were also delicious. The rest of my family ordered chicken, beef pho and hanoi spring rolls which they also said were great. All 5 of us were stuffed at the end for less than $40
Delicious and cheapo vietnamese in Victoria street, pho comes in 4 different sizes (the biggest, super bowl, could easily feed 2), with one vego option. Extensive range of different spring rolls, it was a bit difficult trying to figure out which were the ones we wanted. Absolutely delicious vermicelli with grilled shrimp (6pcs), with pickled vegetables and holy basil. Definitely a place to go with a gang and share dishes, or just go with the pho.
Excellent service and fabulous pho! I am usually a die hard beef pho girl, but the ox tail pho is a must try and tipped this rating over from a 4.0. The meat tender and the broth very delicately flavoured. A great go-to comfort bowl.
Have been here a few times now. Never ever disappointed. The Hanoi style spring rolls are to die for, really really yum! Friendly wait staff, perfect iced Vietnamese coffee and flavorsome beef phó. Always a treat!
We came here twice in one weekend. Once to try share large bun bo hue (22) between 2 people and then with friends to split a super bowl of pho with sliced beef (7) between 4 people. Each time, we had all hit the cusp of being full by the time we finished the bowl. I loved the chili and lemongrass broth of the bun bo hue, but I didn't care for the thick udon-like noodles. If I were to order it again, I would go with the flat noodles instead. The pho was okay, although the broth was lacking in full flavor and felt a little watered down. The service was prompt and there's no pressure to leave because you go to the counter when you're done. They only accept card payment for bills over $20. The owner/manager was a little harsh and yelled at us when we were paying in cash and wanted to split the meal, so from that experience I won't be returning.
Love this place. Friendly staff serving up the freshest, tastiest pho on Victoria street. Can't go past the homemade vegetarian spring rolls either!
Nice vietnamese noodle place.
Does four sizes of noodles - superbowl was too big to try.
Had the rice noodles with beef and beef and tripe, medium sizes. Medium size was plenty filling and very nice. Soup was addictively nice; really appreciate the base broth thats probably been prepped all day.
$~20 for two
A sweet satisfactory cheap eat, 3.5 Yums
Best bbh ever!!!!!!... IN THE WORLD! Come here often, best recovery food!! BBH IS LIFE. BBH IS LOVE!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Regular here..pho has been consistent and great portion. Casual yet still quite good atmosphere. One of our favorite pho places in Richmond, right after footscray of course.
Delightful hideaway in crowded Richmond. You've run the gauntlet, now take on the super bowl. The weak? Need not apply. The food? Bellissimo. Recommended.
Decided to stop by to help with a pho craving. Pho was okay, three colour drink was excellent.Three Colour Drink $4Excellent drink in the most suitable glass. Great quality of ingredients too. 8/10Soya Milk $3.50Tastes just like regular sweet soy milk. 7/10. Freshly Wrapped Rice Paper Cold Rolls (4 pieces) $9
Good proper Vietnamese soups. Cleaner than most places along this street. Nice one
Service is quick and efficient, and everything on the menu is dirt cheap; just the way we like it.
BESSSTTTT PHO IN MELBOURNE!!!!!!. We visit this place at least once a fortnight.. it is THEE BEST PHO restaurant in Melbourne and we have tried MANY!!
I always get the Bun Bo Hue, #23 on the menu. I always ask for the flat rice noodle with this because I find the round noodle too difficult to eat - very messy! LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Pho Ga with Crispy Fried Chicken. Love a good Pho. Wandered in, ordered and within minutes had my soup, along with a plate of fresh bean sprouts and Vietnamese mint. The whole thing was packed with flavour with a nice, deep flavoured broth (some you get are insipid). I ate til bursting then felt bloated and tired for the next two hours - just the way it should be... Defiantly recommended.
Good rice. good bun bo hue. will return
Great value great taste!. I wanted to leave a review the first time i came here but decided to try it again before i did too see if it was just as good. Didn't disappoint me! The first visit was to try the fried wontons (never received them) but the soup is so tasty & filling. A bowl for all appetites starting from a small right up to super bowl!! There is no way i could eat that alone but would be suitable for 2 people sharing. There was a little confusion regarding vegetables in the soup. The staff member although very friendly didn't understand my simple request for vegies in the soup but thought i wanted to order more. Second time around i ordered number 2 & 24. vegetarian spring rolls & Broken Rice. Very tasty and filling. Fast service with a friendly genuine smile. Over all i would rate it an 8 out of 10.
Brilliant pho, welcoming host. We've just left Super Bowl having had a great evening full of tasty food - the owner was really accommodating (we were a party of 13 with four children) and really looked after us....would highly recommend you dropping in for a bowl of pho...nobody dared to have the Super Bowl sized pho...I had the large and that was too big for me...their broth is top notch. Great spot all round.
Best pho ever!! Very tasty and lovely service. Come here all the time. I sometimes have pho at other places but it's just not the same.
Excellent BBH!. BBH was awesome! can't wait to go back for some more.
soup well spice and flavoursome
noodles and meat were generous.
Great local. I go there all the time and love the vegetarian pho! The staff are friendly and it's great value for money.
Just tried Super Bowl for the first time tonight & it was fantastic! Fresh and really tasty soup. I'll be going back, its my new favourite place! :-D
Stumbled upon this place when I couldn't be bothered to join the queue at I Love Pho. Turned out to be just as good, if not better. Would definitely recommend!
Give it a go. In my view, this was much better than the popular I Love Pho - it just had a better atmosphere, I feel higher quality ingredients and more attentive staff. Enjoyed the Pho, and recommend the special "three colour drink' - weird, but very very tasty.
Souper good. My choice place for Bun Bo Hue on Victoria St. Really like the Vermicelli with marinated pork and spring rolls, and also the Ha Noi style Vermicelli (think deconstructed version, similar to banh hoi).
BBH Galore!. If you want delicious Bun Bo Hue then this is THE place for it. Also clean, nice staff, quick service and super cheap. Super Bowl is Super awesome. The pho is also really delicious.
Nice pho - good quality of meat, though there could a slight improvement in the broth itself; personally I prefer it with stronger herbs but of course you have to cater for all tastes.
good service, nice, smiling cheerful staff.
superpho is definitely value for money i.e. it's about the size of 3 mediums for only $17!
